The study of neutron interactions with soft tissue using Monte Carlo simulation using the source PF
Authors
Abstract:
The most important part of neutron therapy treatment (NCT1) is to achieve a beam of neutrons with suitable energy and intensity, as well as the least pollution and damage. In this study, in order to correct the neutron spectrum from D-D fusion and its use in neutron therapy, a set of different materials which are called the Beam Shaping Assembly (BSA) was placed in the direction of energy 2.45 MeV neutrons output in such a way that the neutron beam intensity and energy output were appropriate for treatment. Moreover, the total yield coefficient 109 was considered. In this article IS set for a plasma focus device was designed and optimized by MCNPX2.6 code. The results of this study indicated that, according to BSA3 materials, epithermal neutrons were the best choice for energy range.

Bremsstrahlung imaging from the liver using the Monte Carlo simulation
Introduction: Most beta and gamma radiation radioisotopes used for treatment are not suitable for imaging. The bremsstrahlung images on a conventional gamma camera helped to localize the radionuclide within and outside of the lesion. Secondary scattering of gamma rays of higher energy and bremsstrahlung causes contamination in the energy window and reducing the contrast and resolution of the im...
